My room in the College of Arts

2 weeks ago? Apr '15.

Our class was given an assignment. Each student will have their own classroom. Our task was to convert that classroom into our own room, and it will be our own room on campus till we graduate.

Dream fast forwarded to the completion of our rooms. I didn't even know what I did. New batches of students were lost as they didn't know their classrooms were no longer available. We had to tell them off and asked them to search for their classrooms elsewhere.

Here comes the first time I saw my own room. There were many historical paintings of various sizes with golden frames all over the dark classy green walls...from a little above the floor up to a little below the ceiling. Besides the paintings, my room had a really awesome view. Glass panel from floor to ceiling overlooking a huge garden that was actually the central-most region of the entire college. Actually, all our rooms were encircled around that garden...so everyone had this awesome view. The
difference between my room and others' was, I had unknowingly built a lookout and a playground which linked my room to the greens outside. From my room there was a short transparent tube (like those of underwater parks) connecting to a spheroid-shaped lookout. Inside the spheroid, was kinda like a reading/chilling area where there were bean bags, huge pillows, and a swing chair, on fake, soft grass...overlooking the gardens (of trees, stream, and flowers) below.. The spheroid was also connected to the playground via a rope ladder. The higher parts of the playground had flying fox and other hanging obstacles (search 'skytrex')..while the lower parts of the playground had many types of obstacles you could find in any other playgrounds...monkey bars, slides, ladders, swings, climbing stuffs, interactive stuffs.. Any of those whose views faced the garden had the access to my playground..

I also didn't realize earlier how beautiful the college was. The corridor outside my room had well polished marble floors, columns, and ceilings. Classical greek style. Beautiful lighting too. The ceiling was extremely high up... and everyone either skated, scootered, or..levitated..Everyone had their own superpowers. Levitating was one of it, I hadn't really discovered what mine was..

Everyone gathered around my playground for the announcement of our results. We were all playing around and that was when realized I could climb really well and speedy at it, it was as easy as walking on a flat road with some comfy shoes. That must be my superpower?

Didn't really remember what the rest of the dream was...but I really love my room :p

It hurts to return a book late

30 April 2015.

I was cleaning up my room a little as it had been a great mess for 3 months. Then I realized I forgot to return a book to the college library. So I went to the library, hand over my student ID and knew I had to pay some fines, probably about 10bucks max. 

The librarian told me that if a book was returned 11 days late, it would be about 1 buck per day, anything beyond that would be settled with the management. I was 17 days late. So..I was given a form to fill my details and handed it to one of the staffs. She took the form, brought it into one of the rooms, while I sat in front of he desk waiting. Not long after she came out with my form, tapped the calculator and wrote the amount on that form.

I was extremely shocked. 345 bucks! What? I told her that it's the holidays and that I was away and unable to return the book. She just nodded, agreed that it's holiday, and told me to pay. I got so mad that I stood up, slammed my hands on the table, and said 'Why should I pay this amount? I shouldn't have brought this book back here. Or maybe, I should just steal some books. I will not pay a single cent!" (kinda not logical..and the fact that I had 500 bucks deposit with the college). Everyone else in the library was looking at me. Didn't feel embarrassed at all..just. so much rage.

I went out of the library and started slamming my head real hard and punching my fists multiple times on the walls outside. The walls got damaged. Really, I was sooooo angry. Then I walked out the building, walked to the garden and got onto the front seat of a roller coaster. Stuck my legs out and left them hanging while the roller coaster was moving in circles...was a little out of my mind..

Then I woke up. Such a weird irrational dream.

The house opposite

22 Mar 2014.

There was a huge gathering at my bungalow house (a virtual house). My parents, cousins, uncles, aunties, different groups of friends, and some random people were there. My friend, Jek, came to ask me if there is any space for him to store his things in my house. So, I asked for the size of his required storage. He got to the nearest wardrobe, lied on the ground, and curled up on his back. My mom saw that and told him there's room in our other house, the house opposite, which I didn't knew it was ours...

My mom called everyone for a tour at our house opposite. While she was at it, I went ahead to cross with my cousin. On the way out of the porch, we saw really odd and cool looking cars. One of it was an elongated skull covered in a layer of thick glass-like gloss. As we crossed, there was a centipede-like transport that intercepted us, yes it had legssssss and they were moving.

Passing the entrance gate of our other house, there were fish tanks of all shapes and sizes everywhere. Dead fishes inside the tanks. Some tanks were algae filled, some were faecal coloured, while some were pretty clear. There were cobwebs all over too. This place must have been untouched for a very long time.

As I screened through the front porch, I spotted a partially alive gold fish in a quarter-filled cone shaped container. Immediately, I looked for clean water to fill that cone container, but other tanks with clearer water could be contaminated..as all fishes in them were dead. Searched a little longer and found a tap. I filled the container, but there was a leakage from the base. I tried to seal the base further with a random fitting lid I found and heard a crunch. That was the fish's tail. It broke.

Without thinking further, I poured that cone's contents into a tank with other live fishes (a sudden discovery). The broken-tailed fish swam frantically in that tank.. and ended up getting chomped by a carnivorous fish. Some of its remains were still floating in the tank.......

then..

Layered swimming pools and roller coaster transports

3 October 2009.

I was at a condominium that looked like a school and shopping complex. From one point to another, I rode a roller coaster along with other people. During the ride heading upwards, I looked down and saw layers of swimming pools and waterfalls flowing from one to the next, pillars standing in the bottom most pool to support some parts of the building, and pillars connecting the buildings.

I took my luggage with me as I got off the next station. The place seemed like a hostel. I explored the place a little until a big guy with a turban called me. He told me he needed me to work. Still at the hostel, a dog barked at me. It thought I needed medication, so I allowed it to lick me. It left me alone because I was actually alright. Then I got called to see the turban guy. (Forgot what happened)

When I got back to my room, my room mate told me to pack and leave, she said it isn't safe to stay. So I did.

Somewhere outside my room, I saw a baby. I held the baby tightly and ran towards the roller coaster. I whispered to the baby "the turban guy is after me". I was so scared.

We went off the roller coaster and was standing on water. It was one of the shallow pools. That place was crowded. Everyone waiting for their turn to slide down the water slide up ahead. All of a sudden, I lost the baby. There was no sign of the baby anywhere near. I was so terrified that tears rolled down my cheeks. Without hesitation, I beat the crowd and went down the slide. It wasn't long till I reached the other end, into another shallow pool. To my surprise, the baby was there with my luggage. I ran and hugged the baby, sobbing while feeling greatful.

Nearby, there was a sliding door made from glass that lead to the shopping mall..

*then I woke up*

Free flow Ben & Jerry's

Morning, 3rd Nov '13.

Two of my friends and I went to the fridge for some frozen snacks and found that there were tonnes of ice cream tubs hidden at the back of the freezer. We slowly dug to check the available flavours of Ben & Jerry's ice cream; strawberry cheesecake, chocolate, and coffee at first. The more we dug, the more flavours appeared!

I was searching for vanilla (in real life, I told my bf that B&J's have great vanilla ice cream with vanilla beans) so that my bf could try it. I found another of my favourites, chocolate chip cookie dough, but decided to come back another time. Also discovered loads of New Zealand Naturals ice cream :p

I grabbed B&J's vanilla and strawberry cheesecake to those waiting for us at the dining table. As three of us were walking back, I asked if we could grab some tubs to bring home as if these ice creams would be gone in no time. My friend said that it's free flow, but not everyone have access to that fridge; only those aged 21 to 23 could use that particular fridge..while the other two locked fridges at the sides were for below 21s....I told myself to come back later for the choc chip cookie dough..

I opened both flavours at the table..and realized the vanilla was cherry garcia with vanilla beans instead..how odd.. It still tasted good anyways :p Everyone had a spoonful, and the ice cream were gone, down our tummies.

Reunion

23rd Sept '13.

In a rainforest villa. It was beautiful. Humongous rainforest trees everywhere, there were lakes, streams and rivers, lush green sceneries, straw and wooden huts. To cross the streams, I had to hop on man-made stone steps. I felt like one with nature. Birds chirp and tweet as they fly above me. As I came to a huge tree trunk, there was a shimmering purple portal right at the base of it.

I curiously entered the portal, and was brought into the modern world of buildings..sitting in a circle with my friends. Slowly, more friends joined in and it became a really huge circle. It started raining, so we moved inside a airport-like building...well, it was an airport as it was time to board the plane. We walked through corridors and reached the entrance to the top level of the plane. Right before the entrance, there was a toilet where I bumped into John. I told him I'd catch up with him in the plane. I went 3 floors down to a deck where there were bunk beds, face-to-face double decker seats, and normal plane seats. I chose the top layer of the bunk bed. When I was about to take a nice, comfy rest...

I woke up.
